match [options] <pattern>
Display help.
Ignore case distinctions.
Print lines that do not match.
Don't print the lines that match, just count them and print the total at the end. If used with --invert-match
, counts the number of non-matching lines.
The pattern to be matched. Symbian descriptor wild characters supported. [string]
Print to stdout
any lines of stdin
that match a particular pattern.
Note, does not support regular expressions, only Symbian's descriptor wild characters (aka TDesC::Match()
. Since these don't explicitly support anchoring (functionality provided by ^
and $
in regular expressions) if you want to match an word within a line you need to put *
characters at either end of the pattern string. If you don't, then the match will be implicitly anchored to either end of the line.
